Huckabee's question (in the context of a political campaign) was idiotic. It was not bigoted.
Frankly, I would rather Romney be president than Huckabee. But Romney's church really does teach that Jesus and Satan were spiritual brothers and both were spiritual sons created by God the Father.
That means that Mormonism is not a Christian Religion. It looks like a Christian Religion, but then so does Unitarianism.
Huckabee’s question is worse than bigotry, it is a ploy, and it plays on the theological and historical ignorance of everyone who hears it. If this were 1888, and a Mormon were running for President, this theological statement would be a charge that should be raised, because of the deep divisions between the Mormons in Utah and the traditional Christians there. It would imply that the two groups could not co-exist. We could infer reasonably that that might be the case. My objection now is that the Mormons have been “tamed.” or “christianized,”so that their morality, their deportment is now consistent with the public peace. I find it ironical that they stand for a morality that is more Christian than that of many main-line Christian churches. Huckabee seems to be implying that such a doctrine necessarily means that a Mormon President would adopt policies that will depart from this course.
